Summer Menu Program

July 7, 2007

The newly formed Manna Ministries, similar to Angel Food Ministries, is providing food in bulk for the second time this year. The program provides food that is more affordable to area residents, said Cora Lucero, a program specialist with the Community Services Block Grant program in Tucumcari.
The basic menu is guaranteed to be worth $50, she said. The money collected pays for the food that’s distributed, Lucero said.
The following menu items will be available at the Eastern Plains CAA. Orders should be placed by calling Eastern Plains and should be paid in advance by Wednesday.
There is a $25 fee for the following menu, plus a $2 fee for transportation of food to Eastern Plains’ office. Payment must be in cash or EBT. Distribution will be on July 28.
